S4: How to turn off vibrate for email notifications

[tabs31]

Just got my wife an S4 (I have an S3). I cannot figure out how to stop the phone from vibrating when a new email comes in. She is using the Outlook app (as I am). The setting for vibrate within that app is set to off. Any & all assistance would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!!!!

Go into settings in the email app, and look for notifications.

In Android, pretty much every app has a settings or preferences menu where you can control app settings. Within the app's main screen, tap the menu button and look for one of those options. Remember that sometimes you might need to scroll the menu to see all the options available.

Checked that. Can't find anything to turn it off on this phone. Never had this issue on my S3.

Does it only happen when you set the phone ringer to vibrate?

No

Anyone else have any thoughts? Can't for the life of me get this figured out!

Did you go into the; Phone Settings>Sound>Vibration Intensity
And turn off all the vibration settings for Notifications?

Under Settings > My Device > Sound -- uncheck the Vibrate when ringing under Ringtones and Notifications.

That eliminates vibration during a SMS.

That also eliminates vibration with a SMS.

But if you go to the Messaging app > Settings > under Notification settings, check the Vibrate when notified -- that should fix it.

Looked there. The box for vibrate when notified was already checked. O(

To clarify, it won't stop vibrating when an email is received when the sound control is set to vibrate.

If you're using the stock Email app, open it, go into it's settings and then select the email account below. From there, you should be able to adjust the vibration/notification

I'm actually using outlook and have the box for vibrate unchecked.

Not sure then. Have you gone into the Sound section and select the vibration settings for notification, call, etc? Mine has 3 sliders to adjust.

Settings>MyDevice>Sounds>Vibration

 

[tabs31]

Yes. If I reduce the one for notifications all the way down, then the phone won't vibrate when an SMS comes in.

Probably an issue with the outlook app that you use. What about using the Email app and adding your email acct to that? Did you try enabling it and disabling it just to trick it?

 

[jessann9]

This is happening to me as well! And I am using the gmail app. I can't get it to vibrate for sms only and not email as well.

What you can do is change the sound to silent in your email settings. I had this same problem, but once I changed the sound to silent, it stopped vibrating for email alerts.

You have to adjust the vibrate setting for each label individually.
